Appendix. 



tliis course, inasmucli as many objects are not knoA^ai to tile Poljaiesiau races 

 which, are common in the archipelago, and some words do not express primary- 

 wants. 



On examination of the list of words below, it will appear that in allowing 

 for differences in articulation which has caiised the elision or transposition of 

 vowels and consonants, there are sixty-six of the hundred-and-two words common 

 to both. Thus we have in Maori and Tongan respectively, hua, fua, finiit ; 

 pai, mea, good ; wera, vela, hot ; rahi, lahi, large ; wahine, fafine, woman ; etc. 

 But in this list fifteen words have no expression either in one dialect or both, 

 owing to the object not being known to them, such as deer, monkey, etc. 

 Thus the ratio of common words to the whole should be as 66 : 87. It may 

 be noticed, in passing, that the word for pig in Maori, viz., poaha, being 

 radically the same as the Tongan term, huaha, must have been either 

 preserved by tradition or introduced by natives of Polynesia after the advent 

 of the European. This word, in its various modifications, has extensive range, 

 puaJca, huaka, 'pliua^a, etc., and is supposed by J. E. Logan to be of Asiatic 

 origin, as pliah, Thibet ; pJiag, Bhutan,. Limbu, etc. ; woh, Kyen, Champang, 

 etc. ; wak, Magar ; vak, Naga, Garu ; inak, ChejDang.
